I have been an RV owner since 1965 but on our latest trip I saw two things I have not seen before and one of those I don't understand.
1. I use a surge protector (30 amp) and it was in use this whole 4 day trip on a single 30 amp site in Branson. The heat was extremely hot everyday - very high 90s with lots of sun. The connector between the coach cord and surge protector plus was very hot to the touch due to constant running of the air conditioners. But when I went to unplug this morining I found that the surge protector would not unplug from the campground receptacle. After isolating the power I finally managed to get it off by putting a flat heat screwdriver between the connection and prying it apart several times. It appeared that one of the prongs was almost welded to the receptacle on the box so I will have a lot of cleaning up to do before the next trip. Never had that happen before. But I do understand the cause.
2. Tiny bubbles. Ever since I dewinterized and filled the water tank this spring I always get a whole lot of tiny bubbles whenever I draw water. They dissipate quickly but they happen in both the sinks and in the shower. At first I thought they were soap bubbles but the water tastes fine and, as I said, the bubbles go away quickly. This is one I do not understand so any ideas are appreciated. By the way this happens with both city water and tank pumped water.
